The adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in India is growing rapidly due to rising fuel prices, environmental awareness, technological improvements, and supportive government policies. This study analyzes the key factors influencing EV adoption using a dataset of 10,000 observations. Various statistical techniques, including data visualization, multiple linear regression, correlation analysis, and the Kruskal–Wallis test, were applied. The results indicate significant growth in EV sales and charging infrastructure. Regression analysis shows that EV price is strongly influenced by battery capacity, range, charging time, subsidies, maintenance cost, and resale value, explaining over 83% of price variation. Another model reveals that battery capacity and energy efficiency are the main determinants of driving range. Safety rating was found to have no significant impact on sales. Overall, affordability, technological efficiency, and infrastructure development are the major drivers of EV adoption in India.
